IMPROVEMENT IN CATCH-BASIN COVERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 204,882, dated June 18, 1878; application filed September 28, 1877.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, GEORGE GARDINER CAMPBELL, of Milwaukee, in the county of Milwaukee, in the State of Wisconsin, have invented certain Improvements in Catch-Basin Covers, of which the following is a specification.

My invention has for its object the providing a catch-basin cover for the corner of streets, which the following description will more fully show Figure 1 is a perspective view of my invention, and Fig. 2 a sectional View of the same.

In the drawings, A is the body of the catchbasin cover; B, the base of the same; 0 O, flanges secured to the base and body for the purpose of holding the stone or other material back to the sidewalk which may be used in setting the cover; D, strips of metal standing obliquely over the opening to keep rubbish out of the basin as the water flows into the same; E, a raised stop or partition in front of the strips D for the pavement to face up against; F, a flange projecting below on the under side of the cover to keep the water from wearing away the mortar between the brick or stone which the basin may be made of G, an opening, with cover to the same, for access to the basin.

This device is calculated to stand at the corner of a street and jut back into the sidewalk, and the front stands slanting, the bottom part of it projecting to the bottom of the gutter, so that a team in passing, if it hugs too close to the sidewalk, the wheels will strike on the strips of metal D and slide down off the same, and the base B will be under the sidewalk and paving, so that the basin-cover will be held firmly in place.

What 1 claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A catch-basin cover constructed with slanting front, with strips D, base B, and raised partition E, substantially as specified.

2. A catch-basin cover with body A, flanges G (l, and flange F, substantially as spe ified.
